Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to an electrochemical device and an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] Electrochemical devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, have the advantages of high energy storage density, high open circuit voltage, low self-discharge rate, long cycle life, and good safety. They are widely used in various fields such as portable energy storage, electronic equipment, and electric vehicles. With the rapid development of the application of lithium-ion batteries in consumer terminals and other fields, the market demand for the performance of lithium-ion batteries is also getting higher and higher, such as OCPD (one cylce per day) cycle performance. The test process of this cycle performance simulates the client's usage habits and is closer to the real usage scenario. However, the OCPD cycle process has high requirements for lithium-ion batteries, and the OCPD cycle performance of existing lithium-ion batteries is not ideal. Therefore, how to improve the OCPD cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an electrochemical device and an electronic device to improve the OCPD (one cycle per day) performance of the electrochemical device. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A first aspect of the present application provides an electrochemical device comprising an electrolyte, a separator, a positive electrode sheet, and a negative electrode sheet, wherein the electrolyte comprises a compound represented by formula (I):

In the present application, the isolation membrane has a relatively low porosity, which can ensure that the isolation membrane of the electrochemical device has a relatively high mechanical strength, which is beneficial to reduce the probability of internal short circuit of the electrochemical device during actual working conditions, thereby improving the safety performance of the electrochemical device. However, the relatively low porosity of the isolation membrane will reduce the storage space of the electrolyte, reduce the amount of electrolyte retained, and make the electrolyte easily lost, thereby resulting in a blocked lithium ion transmission channel between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, affecting the transmission of lithium ions, and further affecting the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device. Since the compound represented by formula (I) has strong antioxidant properties, it can reduce the oxidation reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte, widen the oxidation window of the electrolyte, and make the electrochemical device have good positive electrode interface stability, which is beneficial to reduce the consumption rate of the electrolyte and delay the loss rate of the electrolyte, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the electrochemical device while improving the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device.

Further introduction of the aforementioned trinitrile compound into the electrolyte and regulating its mass percentage D% within the aforementioned range can further enhance the stability of the positive electrode interface, thereby improving the OCPD cycling performance of the electrochemical device while ensuring the safety performance of the electrochemical device.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating area density of the porous coating is 0.1 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 Up to 10mg / 1540.25mm 2 By regulating the coating area density of the porous coating within the above range, the separator can have a lower porosity and a higher bonding force between the separator and the positive and negative electrode sheets, which is beneficial for reducing the thickness of the electrochemical device. This helps ensure the safety performance of the electrochemical device while ensuring that the electrochemical device has good OCPD cycle performance and improves the volume energy density of the electrochemical device.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the porous coating layer includes inorganic particles and a fluorine-containing binder.

However, the relatively low porosity of the separator will reduce the storage space of the electrolyte, reduce the amount of electrolyte retained, and make the electrolyte easily lost, thereby resulting in a blocked lithium ion transmission channel between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, affecting the transmission of lithium ions, and further affecting the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device.

[0021] Of course, it is not necessary to achieve all the advantages described above at the same time when implementing any product or method of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] It should be noted that, in the specific embodiments of the present application, a lithium-ion battery is used as an example of an electrochemical device to explain the present application, but the electrochemical device of the present application is not limited to a lithium-ion battery.

[0024] Compared to conventional cycling performance testing, the OCPD cycling performance test includes a full charge and full discharge rest period. Therefore, it places higher demands on the stability of the positive and negative electrode interfaces of the electrochemical device. However, existing electrochemical devices suffer from poor positive and negative electrode interface stability, preventing them from achieving ideal OCPD cycling performance. Based on this, the present application provides an electrochemical device and an electronic device.

[0025] A first aspect of the present application provides an electrochemical device comprising an electrolyte, a separator, a positive electrode sheet, and a negative electrode sheet, wherein the electrolyte comprises a compound represented by formula (I):

[0026] R 11 and R 12 Each independently selected from C1 to C 10 The alkyl group, R 11 and R 12 At least one is substituted by fluorine. In some embodiments of the present application, R 11 and R 12 are each independently selected from the following groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted by fluorine: methyl, ethyl or propyl, R 11 and R 12 At least one is substituted by fluorine. Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the compound represented by formula (I) is A%, 30≤A≤80, preferably, 40≤A≤75; the isolation membrane includes a porous substrate and a porous coating provided on at least one side of the porous substrate, and the porosity of the isolation membrane is 25% to 35%, preferably, the porosity of the isolation membrane is 25% to 30%. For example, A can be 30, 40, 43, 50, 56, 60, 64, 70, 75, 80 or a range consisting of any two of the above values. For example, the porosity of the isolation membrane can be 25%, 27%, 27.5%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 33%, 35% or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0027] The present application provides a porous coating on at least one side of the porous substrate of the separator and regulates the porosity of the separator within the above range. The separator has a low porosity, which can ensure that the separator of the electrochemical device has high mechanical strength, which is beneficial to reducing the probability of internal short circuit in the electrochemical device during actual operation, thereby improving the safety performance of the electrochemical device. However, the low porosity of the separator will reduce the storage space of the electrolyte, reduce the amount of electrolyte retained, and make the electrolyte easily lost, thereby causing the lithium ion transmission channel between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to be blocked, affecting the transmission of lithium ions, and further affecting the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device. The present application introduces the compound represented by formula (I) into the electrolyte and regulates its mass percentage A% within the above range. The compound represented by formula (I) has strong antioxidant properties, can reduce the oxidation reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte, widen the oxidation window of the electrolyte, make the electrochemical device have good positive electrode interface stability, reduce the consumption rate of the electrolyte, and delay the loss rate of the electrolyte, thereby improving the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device. Therefore, the application of the above-mentioned separator and the electrolyte comprising the compound represented by formula (I) to an electrochemical device can improve the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device while ensuring the safety performance of the electrochemical device. When the porosity of the separator is too low, for example, less than 25%, the lithium ion transmission path is insufficient, which is not conducive to improving the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device. When the porosity of the separator is too high, for example, greater than 35%, the separator structure is unstable and the mechanical strength is poor. It cannot resist the puncture of particles on the electrode surface, which can easily cause local short circuits between the positive and negative electrodes, resulting in serious self-discharge problems and affecting the safety performance of the electrochemical device. When A is too low, for example, less than 30, the content of the compound represented by formula (I) is too low and its effect is limited. The effect of enhancing the positive electrode interface stability is weak, and the effect of reducing the electrolyte consumption rate and delaying the electrolyte loss rate is also weak, which is not conducive to improving the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device. When A is too high, for example, greater than 80, the content of the compound represented by formula (I) is too high, which increases the impedance and polarization of the electrochemical device, which is not conducive to improving the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device. In the present application, isolation membranes with different porosities can be obtained by regulating the coating surface density, thickness or formulation composition of the porous coating.

For example, B can be 10, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 50, 58, 60, or a range consisting of any two of the above values. The viscosity of the compound represented by formula (I) is relatively large, resulting in poor wettability of the electrolyte to the positive electrode interface and the negative electrode interface. The non-fluorinated carboxylic acid ester has a similar structure to the compound represented by formula (I), has good affinity and low viscosity. On the basis of the compound represented by formula (I), the above-mentioned type of non-fluorinated carboxylic acid ester is further introduced and its mass percentage B% is controlled within the above-mentioned range.

For example, D can be 1, 1.4, 1.8, 2, 2.4, 2.8, 3, or a range consisting of any two of the above values. The trinitrile compound can complex with the high-valent metal ions in the positive electrode active material to stabilize the positive electrode interface. On the basis of the compound represented by formula (I), further introducing the above-mentioned type of trinitrile compound and regulating its mass percentage D% within the above range can further enhance the stability of the positive electrode interface, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the electrochemical device while improving the OCPD cycle performance of the electrochemical device.

[0134] Note: "\" in Table 1 indicates no corresponding parameter. Taking the 135°C 1-h hot box pass rate data for Examples 1-3 in Table 1 as an example, 8 / 10 means that 8 out of 10 lithium-ion batteries passed the hot box test. The same applies to the other examples.

[0135] As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the lithium-ion batteries of the present embodiments, by adding the compound represented by Formula (I) to the electrolyte at a mass percentage A% within the range of the present application, and providing a porous coating on at least one side of the porous substrate in the separator, with the separator having a porosity within the range of the present application, achieve a greater number of 25°C OCPD cycles and a higher 135°C 1-h hot box pass rate. This demonstrates that the lithium-ion batteries exhibit good OCPD cycle performance and safety. However, the porosity of the separators of the lithium-ion batteries of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is not within the scope of the present application; the electrolyte of the lithium-ion battery of Comparative Example 3 does not include the compound represented by formula (I); the mass percentage A% of the compound represented by formula (I) in the electrolyte of the lithium-ion batteries of Comparative Examples 4 and 5 is not within the scope of the present application. The lithium-ion batteries of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 have a smaller number of 25°C OCPD cycles and a lower 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of the lithium-ion batteries are worse.

[0136] The mass percentage A% of the compound represented by formula (I) usually affects the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery. It can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-5 and Comparative Examples 3 to 5 that when A is too small, such as Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the compound represented by formula (I) has limited effect, and the number of 25°C OCPD cycles of the lithium-ion battery is smaller; when A is too large, such as Comparative Example 5, the excessive amount of the compound represented by formula (I) increases the impedance of the lithium-ion battery, increases polarization, and the number of 25°C OCPD cycles is smaller. This indicates that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is worse. When A is within the range of this application, it is conducive to the effect of the compound represented by formula (I), and the lithium-ion battery has a larger number of 25°C OCPD cycles. This indicates that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is good. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a high 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery is good.

[0137] The porosity of the separator generally affects the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. As can be seen from Examples 1-3, 1-6, 1-9, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, when the separator porosity is too low, such as in Comparative Example 1, the lithium ion transmission pathway in the lithium-ion battery is insufficient, resulting in a lower 25°C OCPD cycle number for the lithium-ion battery. When the separator porosity is too high, such as in Comparative Example 2, the separator structure becomes unstable, mechanical strength is poor, and self-discharge problems are severe, resulting in a lower 25°C OCPD cycle number and a lower 135°C 1h hot box pass rate for the lithium-ion battery. This indicates that the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery are worse. When the separator porosity is within the range of this application, the lithium-ion battery has a greater 25°C OCPD cycle number, indicating good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a higher 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating good safety performance.

[0138] The type of compound represented by formula (I) generally affects the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. As can be seen from Examples 1-3, 1-10, and 1-12, when the electrolyte of the lithium-ion battery includes the compound represented by formula (I) within the scope of this application, it is beneficial to exert the effect of the compound represented by formula (I), and the lithium-ion battery has a large number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating that the lithium-ion battery has good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a high 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the lithium-ion battery has good safety performance.

[0139] Table 2

[0140] Note: "\" in Table 2 indicates no corresponding parameter. Taking the 135°C 1-h hot box pass rate data for Examples 1-3 in Table 2 as an example, 8 / 10 means that 8 out of 10 lithium-ion batteries passed the hot box test. The same applies to the other examples.

[0141] The mass percentage B% of non-fluorinated carboxylates usually affects the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. It can be seen from Examples 1-3, 2-1 to 2-2 that when the electrolyte of the lithium-ion battery includes the compound represented by formula (I) and a cyclic carbonate, and the non-fluorinated carboxylates are further introduced, and the mass percentage B% thereof is regulated within the scope of this application, the lithium-ion battery has a greater number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is good. This is because the viscosity of the non-fluorinated carboxylates is relatively low. Further introducing the non-fluorinated carboxylates into the electrolyte and regulating the mass percentage B% thereof within the scope of this application can improve the problem of the high viscosity of the compound represented by formula (I) so that the electrolyte has a suitable viscosity, improve the wettability of the positive electrode interface and the negative electrode interface, reduce polarization, and thus enable the lithium-ion battery to have good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a relatively high 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery is good.

[0142] The type of non-fluorinated carboxylates usually affects the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. It can be seen from Examples 1-3, 2-2, 2-4 to 2-5 that when the electrolyte of the lithium-ion battery includes the compound represented by formula (I) and a cyclic carbonate, and a non-fluorinated carboxylate is further introduced, and a non-fluorinated carboxylate within the scope of the present application is selected, the lithium-ion battery has a greater number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is good. This is because the viscosity of the non-fluorinated carboxylates is relatively low. Further introduction of non-fluorinated carboxylates within the scope of the present application into the electrolyte can improve the problem of the high viscosity of the compound represented by formula (I) so that the electrolyte has a suitable viscosity, improves the wettability of the positive electrode interface and the negative electrode interface, reduces polarization, and thus enables the lithium-ion battery to have good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a relatively high 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery is good.

[0143] The mass percentage D% of the trinitrile compound usually affects the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery. It can be seen from Examples 1-3, 2-6 to 2-8 that when the electrolyte of the lithium-ion battery includes the compound shown in formula (I) and the cyclic carbonate, the trinitrile compound is further introduced, and its mass percentage D% is regulated within the scope of this application, the lithium-ion battery has a larger 25°C OCPD cycle number, indicating that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is good. This is because the trinitrile compound can stabilize the positive electrode interface. Further introducing the trinitrile compound into the electrolyte and regulating its mass percentage D% within the scope of this application can further enhance the stability of the positive electrode interface, thereby enabling the lithium-ion battery to have good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a higher 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery is good.

[0144] It can be seen from Examples 1-3, 2-9 to 2-11 that when the electrolyte of the lithium-ion battery includes the compound represented by formula (I) and a cyclic carbonate, and further introduces a non-fluorinated carboxylic acid ester and a trinitrile compound, the lithium-ion battery has a greater number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is good. The compound represented by formula (I) has good compatibility and superposition with the cyclic carbonate, the non-fluorinated carboxylic acid ester and the trinitrile compound. The above combination of substances is applied to lithium-ion batteries, which is more conducive to making the lithium-ion battery have good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a high 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery is good.

[0145] The type of trinitrile compound usually affects the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery. It can be seen from Examples 2-10 and 2-12 that when the lithium-ion battery selects the trinitrile compound within the scope of this application, the lithium-ion battery has a larger 25°C OCPD cycle number, indicating that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is good. This is because the trinitrile compound can stabilize the positive electrode interface. Further introduction of the trinitrile compound within the scope of this application into the electrolyte can further enhance the stability of the positive electrode interface, thereby enabling the lithium-ion battery to have good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a higher 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery is good.

[0146] As can be seen from Examples 1-3, 2-3, and 2-13, when the lithium-ion battery electrolyte includes the compound represented by Formula (I) and a non-fluorinated carboxylate, but does not include a cyclic carbonate, the lithium-ion battery exhibits a greater number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating good OCPD cycling performance. Furthermore, the lithium-ion battery also exhibits a high 135°C 1-hour hot box pass rate, demonstrating good safety performance.

[0147] Table 3

[0148] Note: Taking the 135°C 1h hot box pass rate data of Examples 1-3 in Table 3 as an example, 8 / 10 means that 8 out of 10 lithium-ion batteries passed the hot box test. The same applies to other examples.

[0149] The mass ratio m of inorganic particles to fluorine-containing binder usually affects the OCPD cycle performance and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. It can be seen from Examples 1-3, 3-1 to 3-2 that when m is within the scope of this application, the lithium-ion battery has a larger number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating that the OCPD cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery is good. This is because the viscosity of the compound represented by formula (I) in the electrolyte is relatively large, resulting in poor wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode pole piece, while the fluorine-containing binder in the porous coating can increase the affinity of the electrode pole piece to the electrolyte and improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the electrode pole piece, thereby enabling the lithium-ion battery to have good OCPD cycle performance. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery also has a relatively high 135°C 1h hot box pass rate, indicating that the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery is good.

[0150] The type of inorganic particles generally affects the OCPD cycling performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries. As shown in Examples 1-3 and 3-3, when the inorganic particle types fall within the range of this application, the lithium-ion batteries achieve a high number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating good OCPD cycling performance. Furthermore, the batteries also exhibit a high 135°C 1-hour hot box pass rate, demonstrating good safety.

[0151] The type of fluorinated binder generally affects the OCPD cycling performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries. Examples 1-3 and 3-4 show that when the type of fluorinated binder falls within the range of this application, the lithium-ion batteries achieve a high number of 25°C OCPD cycles, indicating good OCPD cycling performance. Furthermore, the batteries also exhibit a high 135°C 1-hour hot box pass rate, demonstrating good safety.
